There has been another development that will upset one side today in the duo of eFootball and FIFA (with its new name EA Sports FC), which football enthusiasts have been discussing for years. Inter Milan, one of the biggest football clubs in the world, renewed its agreement with KONAMI. Accordingly, as of the 2022/2023 season, Inter Milan items cannot be used in any game other than eFootball. Therefore, the Inter Milan club will not be able to appear in FIFA 23 with its original jersey, emblem and stadium.
Inter, in the official statement it shared, announced that it has signed a ‘multi-year’ agreement with KONAMI, which also covers the 2022/2023 season. The club did not reveal the exact length of the deal signed with KONAMI. With the new agreement, KONAMI will continue to use Inter’s stadium and logo in eFootball.
KONAMI will also be present in the real world:
With the agreement, KONAMI will also have the right to use the eFootball logo on the club’s training sets produced for both men and women. In addition, Inter’s training area will also bear KONAMI’s name. The name of this area will be ‘KONAMI Youth Development Centre’. Finally, both parties will contribute to the development of esports both nationally and internationally.
Although KONAMI reached an agreement with Inter, it has not been able to get what it wanted from Juventus, another Italian football giant, yet. The developer company announced that it has terminated its contract with Juventus. While Juventus’ official appearance will remain in the 2022 version of eFootball, it will likely be removed from the game in future updates.
